I (21F) recently accompanied my aunt to my younger cousin's (Class 3) parent-teacher meeting.

During the meeting, the class teacher told all the parents that every student had to use notebooks sold through the school and that all books must be covered using a specific type of cover available only from the school's affiliated stationery shop.

I asked whether regular good-quality notebooks and normal brown covers from local shops would be acceptable since they were much cheaper. The teacher immediately said no and insisted that everyone had to buy the school's approved supplies.

The issue is that those notebooks cost almost 2–3 times more than similar ones outside. My aunt can somehow manage it, but I know several families in that class are already stretching their budget just to pay the school fees. One parent even mentioned that they were worried about managing all these extra expenses.

I politely asked the teacher why the school couldn't simply specify the notebook size and number of pages instead of forcing everyone to buy from one particular place. She got defensive and said, "If parents have a problem with the rules, maybe they should consider a different school."

That really didn't sit right with me. I replied that schools should focus on education, not on making parents spend more when there was no educational reason for it. I stayed calm the entire time, but a few other parents quietly agreed with me.

Later, my aunt told me that the teacher complained I was being disrespectful and interfering in school matters. Some relatives also think I should have stayed quiet because they don't want my cousin to face any problems at school.

Now I'm wondering if I crossed a line by speaking up.

AITA?

I (26F) work with a married man (32M) who had been seeing another coworker (23F) for about five months. He regularly bought her gifts and snacks, took her to movies and the spa, and they spent a lot of time together outside of work.

At first, I thought I might just be overthinking things and tried to ignore it. Then one day I happened to see them kissing in a stairwell at work. I quietly took a photo, left without saying anything, and later found his wife's social media profile through his account.

I sent her the photo along with a short message that said, "I didn't want to hurt you, but I felt you deserved to know the truth." I used my real account because I didn't think of it much.

The next day, my coworker confronted me at work. He was furious and accused me of invading his privacy. He told me his wife had given birth just a month ago, was recovering, had no income, and had no family support because they had disapproved of their marriage.

According to him, by telling her, I had destroyed her life and left her in a position where she might have to raise their baby alone. He said the affair wasn't serious and that he was just looking for "a little spark" in his life. He claimed he would have ended it once his wife had recovered. He also threatened to report me to the police over the photo.

Now I'm wondering if I should have stayed out of it. I believed his wife had a right to know, but I also can't stop thinking about what he said about her situation.

AITA?

Edit: Thank you everyone for their inputs. But I am scared as that man is financially powerful. I am scared that he might not provide child support or put allegations on wife as she was sick.

About complaining to HR ... I don't know what to do.. the HR have good relations with him. Idk if she'll take my side

I still regret using my real account to expose him

A man 32M was having an affair with a women 23F.

He used to buy her gifts snacks and took her to movie and spa. They were seeing each other for about 5 months. At first I thought that it's just that I am overthinking and focusing on someone else's life too much. But then one day I accidentally saw them making out on staircase. I immediately took a photograph of them and went back.

I found his wife's social media account and sent her those pictures with a note "didn't wanted to hurt you but you need to see this" and I texted her with my real id

The other day that man grabbed my arm and shouted at me for sharing those pictures and confronted me about privacy and stuff

He told me that his wife had one month old baby and that she's sick and how I ruined her life my telling her the truth.

That she is now going to raise her baby alone, how she doesn't have anyone to take care of her, her family abandoned her as she wanted to marry this man. She doesn't have any source of income, she doesn't work and now she won't be able toh recover.

If only I did nothing, she would had money for herself and her baby.

He said that he only wanted a little spark in his life,and that is why he was involved with that girl, it was nothing serious and once his wife recovered he would have stopped seeing her.

He also said that he'll report me to police for invasion of his privacy

Guys, AITA for doing this to her?
